Summary:
The Alta-Dutch Flat Union Elementary district has one school, Alta-Dutch Flat Elementary, a K–8 school serving 99 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades ELA proficiency was 51%, close to California’s 49%; science was 57% compared with 36% statewide, while math was 17% compared with 38%. The clearest takeaway is the pronounced contrast between science well above the state and math well below it.
Because it is the area’s only school, there is no local top-to-bottom comparison. Its strongest all-grades result relative to the state was science, 21 percentage points higher, while math was 21 points lower; ELA was 2 points higher. Grade-level results add important variation: fifth-grade ELA was 67% versus 49% statewide, but seventh-grade ELA was 29% versus 51%. Seventh-grade math was also especially low at 7%, compared with 38% statewide. Fifth-grade science, at 33%, was 2 points below the state, even though the all-grades science result was well above it.
Recent results moved in different directions by subject. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grades ELA rose 9 points and science rose 32 points, while math fell 19 points; against state trends, the school improved its position in ELA and science but fell farther behind in math. SchoolDigger rates the school 2 stars and places it at the 47th percentile statewide, up from the 37th percentile the prior year but below the 51st percentile in 2023–2024. Context measures include a 17.5 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 25% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide.
